Glad I watched that, thanks again for posting the link Art.

Question: What things do you like about the current offensive and defensive units?

Edsall: I really can't answer that (lol)


In other words, nothing.

They are going to have to earn claps and high fives...

At least he's planning on watching tape from last year at some point, unlike Diaco who didn't think anything that happened when he wasn't coach was relevant

If I'm a current commit and he hasn't called me yet, I'm a ittle concerned by his answer about recruits

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

What's abundantly clear from this presser is Randy is a competent individual, he's not throwing out ridiculous lines, his words are genuine, his connection to the school and its players is genuine. He clearly wants to win here because it means something to him. That's something you can't undervalue. Whether or not he actually can go out and put the product on the field remains to be seen. But I'm confident he'll at the very least bring the program back to respectability. No more energy vampires, no more fantasy rivalry trophies, no more offensive schemes from the 1970s, no more absurd press conferences after a game that make you wonder if his eyes are working - no more embarrassment.

This is going to be a long off season. We need to keep a list of all the people that hated the Randy hire, I have a feeling that it'll be useful in the future.

I was very concerned about his answer. Its in the middle of the dead period and he said he talked to recruits?

 

[freescooter]

Bet he doesn't go into next season not caring if he wins.

While it's not the fault of the kids who have signed already, is there really anyone in the current incoming class who's so good we can't let them go? I don't follow recruiting much at all, but the bits and pieces I did see indicated we were singing guys whose other options were essentially FCS schools or UMass.

I may have misheard.. or misstated.. can you reach out without talking?

Also, for those who care... blue tie!

What'd PP wear? Orange? Fiasco? Cranberry, or Nantucket Red? Herbst? Dookie blue! From the looks of it, HCRE2 was sporting a National Flag Blue and White Huskies' mascot tie. Moving onward, and upward.

That's a good point.
I would assume we didn't break any rules.

 

[businesslawyer]

I was thinking he needs a new car...

That's his dream car.

That was an interesting answer. I though coaches were not allowed to talk to any recruits during the blackout period. Did Randy just admit to a violation?

That's it boys. No one can say UConn is not Big Time now. We've got a scandal brewin'!!

 

[mac66]

Think honest in that he did not watch and study tape rather than give a BS answer. Guess days of hearing the constant BS about so and so (pick a name) is best player in country are officially over, thankfully.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Seems like HCRFE and AD David Benedict talked about a coaches willingness to surround himself with other strong coaches.

All incoming coaches say they'll want to evaluate the previous regime's recruits. I'd guess the vast majority keep their offers though.

One thing I am happy about is that Edsall always recruits go-getters. Under the radar guys that have a ton of heart. Will be nice to see that back on the field.

Did Matt set him up?

I believe that schools can't contact players, but if a player contacts a coach/school, they are allowed to talk. So my guess is that many of the current recruits were eager to touch base with HCRE. At least, that is my hope.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

While it's not the fault of the kids who have signed already ...

No one has nor even could sign a LOI intent. February 2017, yes.

 

[Jax Husky]

He can evaluate, email and text. Just can't call or visit.

Diabolical lol

 

[freescooter]

You can reply to a call/email etc from a recruit. The coach can't initiate contact but if the recruit calls you you can speak with him. At least that was the rule.

 

[cttxus]

Wow. Watched the whole presser and loved what I heard. I'd say "welcome back" coach, but I think "welcome home" says it much better. Very happy with this.
